Beer?

[GrumpyGregry]

Hepworth Prospect. A local brew. It's ok.

Quid beer.

ts lager! LAGER!

Yes - the clue's in the word "Pilsner". Although no self-respecting Bavarian would drink Pilsner (Czech-style lager) rather than Helles (Munich-style lager), and the thought of putting tinned oranges in it would be anathema.

(And, more to the point, why are they still selling Spring-Summer beer? I suspect it's been hanging around beyond its welcome date like the smell of stewed cabbage.)

I believe that the Cloudwater concoctions that send the world into raptures are actually ales.

Looks like a nice morning for it.

Mandarina is a traditional Pilsner hop

So it is just lager? Crikey. I hope @User3094 paid no more for it than he'd have paid for Fosters.

The Cloudwater blurb says:

PILSNER MANDARINA BAVARIA
This Pilsner features WLP803, 100% Pilsner malt and 100% Mandarina Bavaria hops.

Please Select Pack Size
Shipping cost: £4.99 per 24 cans.

From £3.50

But y'know those crazy folks; there's a strong possibility of there being something orangey in it too... That wasn't obvious when I tasted it a little while back though.

Yes, Foster's prices.

Says the man with a fondness for the infinite variety of flavours that come with the huge range of malts, yeasts and waters and the subtle distinctions of different kinds of hops used by brewers of traditional Brown Beer...

^zzzzzzzz.

I've never made a lager - I believe it's quite difficult as it has to be fermented for a long time at low temperature, raised briefly to remove diacetyl, conditioned and stored (hence the name). In contrast, Boring Brown Beer is cheap and quick to make, which I suspect is the primary driver for the style.

Isn't it entirely possible to make a boring brown lager beer. Or indeed, a yellow, tasteless, ale?

Had to visit Liverpool at the weekend so went to the Liverpool Food Festival in Sefton Park on Sunday.

Got quite excited when I saw the craft beer tent, but it was all fruit beers and vanilla coffee porters, which are ok but not really my thing. Left empty handed

Did manage a Goosehead IPA (nice) and a Tsingtao (meh) on Saturday.

Sure. If I made a pale ale (tasteless or not) and added a tiny amount of black malt, it would be a brown beer that would taste identical.
